The unnumbered version is the one used by Pegasus Mail
The numbered version is the MS one, probably their for use by OLE.

The numbered version probably already *is* in the system directory, and the 
un-numbered one in the pmail directory.

No harm in leaving things as they are, but assuming you want to use LDAP 
from Pmail then leve the unnumbered version and keep a backup of the other 
one, just in case you wish you had it down the road.

From the way you write, these sound like two different and 
incompatible .DLLs which happen to have the same name (as they're 
both Windows LDAP 32-bit libraries), rather than the more usual case 
of different versions of basically the same file (though possibly 
incompatible rather than upwards-compatible). Is this so?

I suspect it is, in much the same way as the Pmail mapi dll's are 
incompatible with the Outlook dll's.

They have the same (basic) functionality, but for different programs.

The difference here is that (as opposed to mapi) the dll's can co-exist. 
Since the pmail version only lives in the pmail directory Pegasus Mail is 
the only one that will call it. Anything else will get the standard MS 
version sitting in the system directory.

As long as one version isn't already loaded in memory when the other is 
called for there should be no problems, and I suspect the chances of the 
one being in memory are slim. If it happens just wait till it unloads and 
you're all set.

This was the case with Windows 3.1, but is no longer a problem in
Windows 95 and beyond (except, perhaps, if they are both 16 bit
modules).
